EDITORS COMMENTS
This ink drawing, titled "The conquest of Cuzco by the Spanish conquistadors in 1533" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala in the 16th century, this artwork is part of his manuscript "Nueva coronica y buen gobierno" which chronicles the life of the Inca Empire. In this scene, we witness a fierce battle unfolding on Peruvian soil. The Spanish conquistadors, led by their thirst for power and wealth, clash with the mighty Inca army. The intricate details and skilled use of ink bring to life the intensity and chaos of combat. The artist's attention to detail transports us into this pre-Columbian era as we observe warriors engaged in hand-to-hand combat amidst ancient ruins. We can almost hear the clashing swords and feel the tension that permeates through every stroke. "The conquest of Cuzco" serves as a reminder of both triumph and tragedy - a pivotal moment when two worlds collided with devastating consequences for one civilization. It invites contemplation on themes such as colonization, cultural heritage, and resilience. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Luisa Ricciarini's private collection, it sparks curiosity about our shared past while encouraging reflection on its impact on present-day South America.
